I've got a similar puller from Tractor Supply. Its design is a little different (such that there isn't a pin you could lose). After having pulled them without a puller (either by hand or using the 3 pt on the small tractor), I absolutely think you shouldn't be allowed to buy a t-post driver unless you also buy a t-post puller. Absolutely, definitely, worth the cost.
I welded up a post puller a few years ago that I designed...1.25" square tube for the main stem and handle, but inside the square handle, I telescope a length of 1" round steel....hitch pin comes out and I can extend the handle out to around 5ft length.
For the business end, I used 3/8" plate to form a square "C" shape (like this [ ) that fits loosely over the t-post so that it ratchets down the post, but grabs on the up stroke. I have 3/4" solid steel supports under the grabber c-clamp part to attach to the main post as the pivot point. On the closed side of the grabber clamp part, the 3/4" steel runs all the way to the end and there is an eye-grab chain hook attached to that with a grade 8 bolt.... With a length of chain, you can wrap wood posts a few times and run it up to the hook, and pull those as well....or trees, or round steel posts, or anything really....the handle extension all the way out gives probably 1 ton of leverage on the business end (I should measure this some day).
Very Nice, my brother needs one of these. I'll pass this on to him. Sheila
Ole fuddy duddy me I use an old style bumper jack and light chain. Not quite as handy as I have to fiddle with the chain some, but then its multi use too. My set up I can pull a 4x4 out of the ground.
thanks for the information how about the T post puller I used to post myself and always have had a hard time pulling them out I'm going to look online and order one right away again thanks for the info
i bet we could use a similar device to pull out unwanted weed bushed, or bushes in general
That is WAY easier than pulling until your back pops and you have to go inside for the rest of the day (my normal method).
David, That is EXACTLY what I have done ( more than once), and it is why I appreciate the puller so much. :-)
What's the name of that t-post puller?
None of the links worked for me. I saw nothing about the post puller. Where did you purchase it?

I'm a sixty five year old widow and I got my Posts out with out any gadgets.
My problem is getting the post in the ground when its nothing but rocks.
You have given me an idea for a new video. If you create a “pilot hole” for the post using a digging bar, the post will pound in straight and easy. The bar will, to some degree, move stones aside enough for the post to go in. It’s easier shown. Maybe I can get the video done today or tomorrow. Thanks for the comment.
@@herrickkimball I live on a mountain of shale in PA and nothing here will work. I can't even get yard art garden stakes in the ground. It took two days with a pick ax to dig a grave for my cat.
@@acurbrider Wow. You have a serious stone problem, for sure. I think I might have tried cremating the cat. Here's the video I made after getting your comment here: czcams.com/video/-8omFF00gAk/video.html
